Igor Yuzov was born in Germany, raised in Ukraine and studied in Russia. He grew up in the former Soviet Union, where folk music was the norm and rock’n’roll was illegal. A rebellious streak led him to seek out the forbidden music. As soon as it became possible, Igor left Russia for America with his “folk ’n’ roll” band Limpopo, and was personally greeted by Ronald Reagan. In 1993, Limpopo won Ed McMahon’s Star Search and their popularity began to blossom. In 1995, Igor dreamed that Elvis Presley came to him and told him to start playing rock and roll. Igor and his Russian friends became The Red Elvises and gave street performances on Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade. As their crowds grew larger, the city of Santa Monica ordered them to discontinue their street performances. Evolving over the years, Igor’s music has been labeled “Siberian Surf Rock” which contains humorous lyrics and grooves that forces his audience to dance. Over the past 20 years, Red Elvises have constantly toured all over the world with occasional breaks to record new music and to participate in film and television projects.

As an independent band, Red Elvises have produced 12 studio albums, two live albums, a live concert DVD, and a greatest hits compilation. Some of their most notable film contributions include music and/or performances in “Six String Samurai,” “Mail Order Bride,” “Armageddon,” “Skippy,” “Melrose Place,” “Fastlane,” “Penn and Teller’s Sin City Extravaganza,” and “VH-1 Behind the Music.”

A vocal powerhouse, Swift brings her bold, genre-defying artistry to the intimate Side Door Cabaret. Known for her dazzling technique and fearless creativity, Swift has emerged as one of her generation’s most captivating performers — effortlessly blending jazz, rock, soul, and classical influences into a sound that’s entirely her own.

With music from her acclaimed Mack Avenue releases, including her self-titled album “Veronica Swift,” this performance showcases her signature “transgenre” style: virtuosic, emotional, and alive with possibility. Experience one of today’s most dynamic vocalists up close in the Palladium’s most beloved listening room.

Swift’s new eponymously titled album, her third for Mack Avenue Records, is a masterful coming-out story. On her previous albums, “Confessions” (2019) and “This Bitter Earth” (2021), she ascended to the upper echelon of early 21st century jazz singers because of her virtuosic brilliance, interpretive ingenuity, bracing songwriting, and keen arrangements. Simply put, Swift is not only one of the most dazzling singers to emerge in her generation, she’s one of the most versatile.

While her first two albums solidified her position in modern jazz, Swift shows that she’s more than a jazz singer, exploring French and Italian opera, European classical music, bossa nova, blues, industrial rock, funk, and vaudeville. She pulls the feat off without the results sounding callow or pastiche. Swift’s expansive artistic voice remains firmly intact regardless of genre.

The Palladium

Sean Chambers and Savoy Brown Rhythm Section

ST. PETERSBURG — Sean Chambers and the Savoy Brown Rhythm Section will perform on Saturday, March 14, 8 p.m., at the Palladium at St. Petersburg College, 253 Fifth Ave. N., St. Petersburg.

Tickets start at $20. Visit mypalladium.org.

Sean Chambers and the Savoy Rhythm Section bring their powerhouse blend of Florida blues and British blues-rock to the Palladium Side Door.

Florida-born Sean Chambers began his career in the blues back in 1998 when he toured with the legendary Hubert Sumlin as his guitarist and band leader until 2003. During his tenure with Sumlin, Britain’s own Guitarist magazine named Chambers as “one of the top 50 blues guitarists of the last century.” Chambers has recorded eight studio albums, the latest being, “That’s What I’m Talkin About,” a tribute to his mentor, the late great Hubert Sumlin.

In 2023, shortly after the unfortunate passing of Savoy Brown’s founder and leader, Kim Simmonds, Chambers teamed up with the Savoy Brown rhythm section consisting of Pat De Salvo on bass, and Garnet Grimm on drums. Chambers and the members from Savoy Brown all became friends after playing a festival together in 2019. Being that Savoy Brown and Sean Chambers are on the same record label together, Quarto Valley Records, this change made sense and felt right to all three musicians. Simmonds was in full support as well and gave the three his blessings shortly before his passing in 2022.
